Warm Springtime temperatures will intensify this week. The forecast suggests that overnight temperatures may be above freezing level up to an elevation of 4000m. This means wet avalanches will become a possibility particularly on south facing aspects both in the alpine and below treeline regions. Avoid traveling on or underneath sunny aspects after mid day. Pay attention to signs of wet slide instability like deep, slowly forming cracks (glide cracks) and unsupportive wet snow in which a person sinks to their boot-top.

This advisory service will end on March 15th. Please read the end of season report. PDF Below.
